Handcrafted Wedding Bouquet

I received this picture from my sister today, it's her wedding bouquet! Sure, natural flower bouquets are beautiful and smell great, but when you're a crafty girl like my sister is, and you're trying to keep the wedding costs down so you can splurge on the honeymoon, then this is the perfect solution to the bouquet search. One more thing she can check off the list.

So how much did she spend? I think she had the fabric and beads already...she gets of a kick out of sharing her cost-saving tips, so I'm sure she'll share. Check back soon if you're interested in finding out the grand total.

Just a few more days...

Thanks for checking-in. I took some time off and traveled across the country to the state of Illinois to spend some time with friends and family before the summer ends - but I'll be back soon! Just a few more days and I'll be back to blogging regularly. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and a fabulous week ahead.

Monday Hues: Ceci New York Custom Postage

Happy Monday! Can't believe we're midway through August; the holiday season is practically upon us. I'm so ready for sweaters and hot cocoa, though. It's been a great summer, but even nature knows it's almost time for a change of scenery and a change of pace.
Speaking of a change of pace, I hope you all had a great weekend. You may not be ready for Monday, so I'd like to treat you to some eye-candy and help chase away the Monday blues. Shown above are these fabulous little treasures from Ceci New York's Kimono collection of custom postage. They are available for purchase in sheets of twenty and you can choose from eight different postage denominations for all your shipping needs. Yes, I may be ready for fall and winter but summer colors, like the ones above, will always be my favorite.

Footsie Friday: Christian Louboutin

Just a little eye-candy for the shoe lovers out there. I love the ruffles, and even though it's a high heel the fact that it has no straps gives me the impression that these are some of the most comfortable dress shoes out there. I could be wrong, but isn't that every girl's dream? Stunning heels that never hurt? Yeah, I like that kind of dreams. Happy Friday everyone. Have a great weekend!

Lace Wedding Gowns

Today's wedding inspiration comes from Martha Stewart Wedding's, Winter 2007 magazine. I love to go back and browse through these little treasures and find things that are timeless, such these gorgeous lace wedding gowns. These designs may be a few years old, but they would still look amazing today.

Water Lily Invitations

Just added this new Water Lily design to my shop. The invitations can be customized for any occasion, such as birthday celebrations, baby showers and why not? Weddings too! All with just a few clicks of a button.

Monday Hues: Warm and Bright

Happy Monday everyone! Wishing you a delightful week full or color and inspiration, starting off with this delightful palette of buttercream, peach, cocoa, peacock blue and raspberry.

Footsie Friday: Versace

Nothing like a great pair of shoes to make a girl feel pretty from head to toe. Thank you Versace, thank you.

Butterfly Bridal Shower Invitations

This is what was born out of a creative streak I had on Saturday evening. These invitations are now available on my shop at PaisleyInParis.com. They are fully customizable on-screen, and they ship within 24 hours. Matching favor tags and stickers for cupcake toppers also available!

Enchanted Tea Set

I've been wanted to host a mother's day tea party for a couple of years now, and for one reason or another I just haven't. I started browsing looking to buy a few sets of vintage tea cups, however right in the middle of my search I came across this "Enchanted" collection. What can I say? The vibrant colors and contrast have me...well, "enchanted". Oh, what would this world be without color? I dare not imagine. On another note, apparently this tea set has a bit of history. It was chosen by Country Living Magazine to help decorate their House of the Year.
